Watch List notes:

MESOPOTAMIA, Adiabene. Natounia. Late 2nd-early/mid 1st century BC. AE (Bronze, 20 mm, 4.53 g, 12 h). Radiate head of Helios-Shamash to right. Rev. Rider on dromedary right, holding short rod in his extended right hand. Hoover, Natounia, Series 1, 1-7. Seyrig, Trésor 13a. Rare and with an unusually sharp and attractive reverse. The obverse a bit weak, otherwise, very fine.


This coin was overstruck on an earlier issue, probably a Seleukid bronze, with faint traces of the original legend visible behind the dromedary.
